5. Mr. Deeds - Mr. Deeds, starring Adam Sandler, was set in a small town in New Hampshire, but in reality, most of the movie was filmed in New Milford. During the filming of Mr. Deeds, Omelette and I were on the road broadcasting our show live from the Bank Street Coffeehouse. Knowing that Sandler was a big rock n'roll fan, while we were on the air, we invited Adam to stop by and hang with us for a few minutes. During our last segment at around 9:45. a black SUV pulls up in front of the coffeehouse and in walks Adam Sandler who spent around 20 minutes with us on the air! It was awesome!
